Microgrids are emerging as feasible solutions to handle local energy systems. Several factors influence the development of such systems, such as technical, economic, social, legal, and regulatory issues. These important aspects need to be addressed to design appropriate microscale projects that take into consideration adequate technology without underestimating local characteristics. This article aims to propose a framework design for microgrid optimization using technical, social, and economic analysis. The framework is presented through a small island case study that shows each step of the method. As a contribution, this work provides a multi-objective optimization framework with different criteria consideration, such as the inhabitants’ cost of living and inter-cultural aspects, instead of traditional technical and economic analysis. The results show the applicability of the proposed framework showing better alternatives when compared with actual or future improvements in the study case scenario.

“…Among them, energy has always been an important development parameter for rural microgrids. A large number of studies have contributed to alleviating the energy shortage of rural microgrids, and [13] presents an energy-management system (EMS) for an isolated rural microgrid; [14] proposes a novel framework that includes techno-financial analysis of the energy system for designing a rural sustainable microgrid; [15] creates a comprehensive model to investigate the optimal management of a rural microgrid infrastructure; [16] presents a novel mixed-integer linear optimization model and considers the security-constrained of microgrid; and [17] presents the current socio-economic status of a rural community fulfilling its electrical need from the rural microgrid. In rural areas where energy is scarce, microgrids can provide consistent, reliable electricity to rural communities [18].…”

This paper introduces a new rural microgrid model, including residents and agricultural greenhouses. Based on the new model framework, the precise energy scheduling of a rural microgrid is realized by means of load classification and load forecasting. Moreover, we also adopt a new energy-storage mode, cloud energy storage (CES), as the shared energy-storage unit of rural microgrid, and analyze the service and operation mechanism of CES in detail. The shared storage characteristic and adjustable storage capacity of CES are helpful for the precise management of power dispatching. At the same time, in order to accurately implement energy scheduling, we fully consider the load characteristics of rural areas and divide the load into residential load and agricultural load. Then the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm is used to predict the short-term power consumption of the two types of load respectively, which can effectively alleviate the uncertainty of load power consumption and improve the accuracy of scheduling. Finally, an illustrative example of rural energy scheduling is given. The example studies the impact of energy-storage capacity on the cost of the scheduling scheme, and designs a power-dispatching scheme based on load forecasting, which accurately solves the energy charging and discharging planning and grid energy trading planning.

This paper mainly deals with the optimum design and performance of the hybrid renewable electrification system for remote villages of southern part of India. Constructed and simulated a hybrid renewable energy (HRE) system, which was consists of fully village owned renewable resources such as solar, wind and biomass energies. Through this case study a typical Indian village load demand wants to meet out by suitable hybrid renewable configuration with optimum performance and least investment. The proposed system's technical performance was ensuring by highest renewable fraction and least annual unmet load percentage. The economical performances of the system were witnessed by the least net present cost and minimum cost of energy. The further sensitivity analysis of the proposed remote village electrification system has been verified by NREL's HOMER software tool. The outcome of the different HRE configuration's competitions were established that the PV/wind/biomass based hybrid renewable power generations at standalone mode was highly commendable electrification system for remote village energy sustainability.
